It's not fair that I have to stay up at night all by myself
It's not fair that you got to be happy while I had to hide what I felt
I had to be patient and kind and understand that you had to take your time
But all that patience and kindness left me all alone
I'm still in the small room at home
No more excitement when I check my phone
No more wondering if your alone
It's just me, myself and I
And I'm lonely and tired
My brain stays up all night thinking of all the things that happened, I'm constantly wired
So no, it's not fair that I put the time and the work in to fix you
Just so you could leave and never even send a text through
But now I see that you leaving was a blessing in disguise
Because in the end, you were truly the bad guy
And I rather be alone then deal with any more of your lies
I guess I should be grateful for your deceit, because in the end I was the one who got more wise
While you are left with an empty soul, and a superficial inside
So consider my silence a final goodbye
